After three day a rest and recrea tion at CatootaSpnngi, I left Georgia the night of the 5".h and resumed my dbautauqu work, and began at Pitts burg, Kansas. Yesterday I was at Bil van Springs, Kansas, and today Mus kogee, I. T. I and at all point! that the constant rains all over the, country have damaged the wheat in the shock and played havoo with the growing cros. Corn and cotton are seriously hurt by wet weather and want of culti vation, and the prophet don't live who can tell the outcome. Much of the earn and cotton to past redemption. minds us of the fellow's sweet 'potato patch. He neglected to work it until the grass had literally taken Che patch, So he said it would kill the otato slips to work them. So he made him a new potato patch and pulled up hi potato slip and moved them to the newly pre pared ground. , ., Surely it look like to begin now to plow and work the grass and weed out of much of the crop I see would kill the crop. ; i- But the people seem to be cheerful and hopeful. They don't seem to know bow bad they are hit. I find the general opinion in Arkan as is that Governor Jeff Davis will beat Senator Berry in the state primary for the Senate. The Jeff Davis men are for Jeff against all odd and the anti Jeff Davis men seem to think that to put Jeff into the United Bute Senate is a good riddance and the only way to get rid of him, but it is a sham to side track old Senator Berry, a thorough-bred, for a jackass like Jeff Davis. But so it will be, I suppose, and that's what makes me glad I don't live in Arkansas. Indian and Oklahoma Territories are impatiently anxiou to some into state. hood and I suppose they will be made into a state by the coming congress, Mr. Roosevelt gave them to under stand on hi tour through the terri, tories that he favorejd a great state. In population they are much ahead of many of the older state. I regard Muskogee the most splendid town in Indian Territory, in her splendid citi zenship, her great business interests, both wholesale and retail, her growing population and her splendid surround' ings, she is indeed a great city already. Many Georgians are here and they are making fortunes and fame for them selves. There is some scrapping over the question as to whether the terri. tories shall come into the anion a dry state or take the chanoes later on, wet or dry. Prohibition or no prohibition, I am sure good psodle want it dry. I came through Missouri and I find a growing eentimcnt in that state in favor of law andtheunoompromising enforce. ment of law. Governor Folk ha more friends in Missouri today than he ever and he will certainly grow bad 'and he will oertainly grow in public favor a he stkks to hi purpose to enforce law. The tide is rising all the time in his fa vor, and he will succeed. Jerome, of New York, made an ass dl himself on his trip out west, by his criti cisms of Governor Folk and Governor Folk done him up bad. Tom Lawson is painting with a big brush odt here. He is just gorming it on. tie draws because of M position and his articles in Everybody' Maga zine. But hi talk about the system, etc., is much like that of, a saloon keeper who is still in th business, go ing around the country talking of the evils of the whiskey business. Let them oo me out ot the business they are denouncing, then they may do some good, otherwise their voices will be drowned out by the criticism of those who hear and read what they say. No body hss any respect for temperance men in the saloon business, and no- botly has any respect for a squeaffni? gambler. Let Mr. Lawson come out of Wall street and quit monkeying with the "system" then the people may heed what he say. I regretted very much that I had to leave aorgia without opportunity of talking to the legislature, and hope to get b ick before they adjourn. I would say now, that unless this present legis lature shall give our state the Australian ballo and protect the primaries, and give some relief to the dry counties, then I would not give them ten cents for all else they may do. : The Austra lian ballot first, for a man who has no character or cash or credit has no more business at the polls than a mulegor a cur dog. Aman who will buy a vote will sell a vote, and a man who will sell a vote will tell a principle, for a vote ajpre ients a principle, and a nu who will cell a principle is an infernal out Ujv who would serve Georgia much bet ter on tb convict farm at MiUedgeville than he possibly can at the ballot box. The Australian ballot is our only rem edy,, and no intelligent man under all the eircumstanoe in Georgia, can or AH JOIfl will oppose that law, unlet something ha been'&anded him. Again I ray, gentlemen, unless yon balljrfve some relief to the dry coun. ties, as sure as Uod reigns you will see a prohibition fight in Georgia, and in its efforts and result let the Russians tell you what the Japs have done for them in Manchuria, and then you will know something of what the good peo- kle of Georgia will do for the liquor traffic in Georgia. The sooner the leg. islalur shall give Georgia the anti-jug law ot North Carolina the better it will be for the liquor gang. Then, gentlemen, give us the law which will domesticate every corpora. tion doing business in our state, make them come to the very same conditions that every individual has already come to. Then I ask but little else of you, gen. tlemen. We need only a few new law, but we need, I keep saying, an eiecu tive who will enforce the laws we have. A tidal wave of sentiment is now rolling oyer this land calling for en forcement of law and punishment of criminals, So mote it be. I will be in Ohio, Idaho, Iowa and Colorado next week. Thence back into the middle states again. Yours truy, Sam P. Joneh. P. 8. A legislature that can't pass a saloon, can't pass good temperance laws. S. P. J.

"The farmer' wife was a kind-heart. ed soul and set about getting me a din' ner with most hearty hospitality. At the table one of her children, a lad of twelve, said to her in a loud tone: 'Maw, give the stranger a knife.' His mother answered that she had given me one, which was true, but agatn the youngster piped up: 'Maw, I tell you to give him a knife; don't you sse he is eatin' his greens with a fork T ' Tbose Exempt Irons Jury Service.

Bones ana Money Fosss, In tearing down a chimney to an old log house on the Helton place, 11 miles from Morganton recently the workmen discovered the bone of an infant under the stone hearth and also found three $5 gold pieces of the date 1844. The old bouse ha been standing more than a hundred years and a great number of families have occupied it during that time. Tradition says that 1,400 in gold is secreted about this old place, and it i more than probable that it will be found when the house is torn away, which will be done at an early date.

AS riOJI THE CRAVE. After a living death of fourteen years spent in prison in Colombia, Frank Holley, a former New York man, is on his way home to this country. An aged mother and a young woman tf whom he was engaged when he disap. peared anxiously await him. They be lieved Holley to be dead all these years, andjwhen they received a letter from him recently their joy knew no bounds. Mrs. Susan Holley, the aged mother, now live at Otisville, .a village near here, and her only interest in life it once more to look upon the life of her son. Fourteen years ago Holley, who was an expert driller, was employed by the Eogleson Drill Company, of New York, His wife had died a year before and he became engaged to marry a young woman in New York, when the com pany made him an offer to go to Co lombia. He accepted, and with his fiancee planned for a wedding on his return. Colombia was in the throes of an up rising on his arrival there. Letters received stated he was going into the interior. Nothing more was heard from him until last April, when he wrote hi mother, telling the story of his imprisonment and relating how he had been mistaken fer a spy by one of the factions. Holley has been working since April to accumulate money enough to bring him home. One of his sons by bis first wife died some years ago, while the other, Frank Holley, Jr , resides in New York and is employed in the navy yard. The daughter lives in Sullivan county. Baltimore Rats Tarn Brown. "Why have rat in Baltimore turned from the familiar gray to seal brown? ' This i the question which U perplex ing a rat catcher who has been in the business for many years. He says: "I have been catching rats for more than twenty years in Baltimore. After the big fire I observed that some few caught in different parts of the city were .of a seal-brown color. The seal- brown rat was a rarity before the fire, but now they outnumber the old famil iar gray ones. In a building in which I was employed lately 90 per cent, of the rodents caught were brown. These rats are not in any one locality, but in all part of the city. "The fur of the seal brown rat is long and much finei and softer than that ot the gray. The big fire may have had something to do with the change of color and texture, but I can not explain why. I only blame it on tbe fire because I can think of no other cause. X told a local furrier about it, and I have a commission to supply him with a number of rat skins, with which he will experiment. The fur will need no dyeing, as it is of very rich, uniform color. The Japanese used thousands of rat skins in the making of earmuffs for soldiers. I have skinned some of tbe brown rats. The skin is very tough, and, no matter how you stretch it, when released it will resume its original shape. I have tried, and could not keep it out of shape. I believe the skins would make exellent gloves, so, msybe, the seal-brown rats may become sala ble tor other purposes than for training rat dogs." A Grtan Tragedy is daily enacted, in thousands of homes, as Death claims, in each one, another victim of Consumption or Pneumonia. But when Coughs and Colds are prop erly treated, the tragedy is averted. F. G. Hantley, of Oaklandou, Ind., writes : "My wife had the comsumption, and three doctors gave her up. Finally she took Dr. King's New Discovery for Con sumption, Coughs and Colds, which cured her, and to-day she is well and strong." It kills the germs of all dis- las. One dose relieves.

The Tot A p pears to be Mis Osr '-Elements of Sfyetery. Cooleemee, Jl. C, July 18. The fot that a little 4-year-old girl, tho(ht to n been kidnapped, was left at the home of a citizen in this place created no little excitement here. A few hours after midnight yesterday morning the man and tbe child came to the home of Willie 8. Greene living on the Moclts ville road in tbe north of town and the man asked lodging for the night. This was given them, but near daylight one Snow, representing a portrait company, and another man came to Grefne'tand said they were looking for a man who had kidnapped a 4 year-old girl at North ABvance; that a reward was offered ft r the man, and he had a scar on his face. Greene admitted one of the men, who examined the stranger, but it seems did not wake him. He who made the examination said this was not tbe man wanted and left. Soon afterwards, however, th stranger be came very restless. While he was out of the houte Mrs. Greene examined the child, having su'pected something, and found it was a girl dressed in boy's clothes. The stranger continued very uneasy and it was not long before he disappeared. Search was made, but to no avail. The child and a valise containing a number of things were left, The man said he was from Advance and gave bis name at Jackson on the way to Barber Junction. In addition to a white vest found in the valise there complete barber's outfit and and dressfs belonging to the little girl. She it not much more than 3 years old, bright, intelligent, apparently of re spectable parents. She ha light hair, blue eyes fair complexion, and weighs 30 pounds. She seemed to be in a stupor and would talk very little. She went to sleep last night at 9 o'clock and could not be waked until 3 this afternoon. A doctor had to be called in. The child said her fathers name was Bud Jackson and that he cut her hair off at Miss Bailey's. The man who brought the child and skipped wore dark coat and blue pants, no vest, no belt. He has light hair, red complexion, and is clean shaven, low set, but heavily built and it slightly bow-legged. It is said one Will Caten, of Advance, brought him and the child down from Advance. This evening a message from Mr. John Campbell, of Greensboro, said the child belonged to his sister, who some time ago married one Burt Be- thea, who formerly lived here, tht Bethea had left bis wife and taken the child wiih him, and that Mr. Campbell or the sherriff wculd come for the child, Bothea did live here at one time, and it is recalled that be and Mrs. Bethea did not agree on all things. The whole affair has been until this time, aod is yet, a mystery. It cannot well be explained why Bethea, if he is the msn that brought the child, should leave as he did. It is thought tbat he is still in the neighborhood and will try to get the child. Good for Stomach Trouble ana Con stipation.
